Unto the confession of the truth is repugnant, 1. The denial of the truth, and of our opinion in Religion for fear of hatred, 1or persecution, or ignominy. This denial is of two sorts: the first is, an universal and general defection from true Religion, which is to cast away the profession of the truth, either certainly or doubtfully known and received, with a certain and purposed advice, and with the whole hearts desire of resisting God, and without any grief or remorse of flying and shunning this casting away of the truth, and without any purpose of obeying God, in applying to himself the promise of grace, and in showing repentance. This denial is proper to Reprobates and Hypocrites.2 Whereof is spoken; They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. Which for a time believe, but in time of temptation go away. 3And this defection, if it be done against the truth certainly known, is sin against the holy Ghost, whereof none repent; and therefore it is not forgiven, neither in this life, nor in the life to come.
